Statement
Discover the Classical Side of Street and Urban Art
Press Release
Classical art has become a standard model for regular reinventions by urban artists of all generations: owning it, and using it to reflect on topics of our present-day life: gender issues, environmental emergency, art, culture and consumption, the omnipotence of the image…
Sometimes classical art serves as a playful pretext for humorous winks, sometimes as a support for political demands, or as a platform for iconoclastic projects.

Presentation of "Sous le Street Art, le Louvre" by Cyrille Gouyette.

Responsible for programming for young audiences, he brings contemporary artists to the museum by involving them in a programme of special evenings. Since 2008 he has been in charge of the Art Education unit, dealing with teacher training, forging partnerships with schools and cultural institutions and developing international projects for an audience further away from the museum institution.
